Hello again!
We’re another week closer to that all important vote in
Autumn 2014. Every opinion poll, every
survey, every prediction will by that time have an easily quantifiable value, i.e.
zero. Expensive surveys conducted by a
wealthy few do not win votes and the only thing that really matters is how many
people vote yes.
Sign for Scotland members Drew and Ronnie at last year's March and Rally for Scottish Independence.
But one of the great barriers that pro independence
supporters need to overcome is the notion that ‘Yes’ is beyond us. It’s easy to think that the task of
instilling self belief into our country men and women is too hard, or that
there are too many people who will never consider independence, but this isn’t
the case.
While it’s true that there are some who can never be
persuaded that the decisions affecting the people of Scotland should be made in
Scotland, the vast majority of those around us just aren’t sure. They don’t know what reforms could be made or
the positive impact an independent Scotland could have on our neighbours and
the wider global community.
The numbers indicate that we put more into the union than we
take out. Every survey shows that we tend
to be more altruistic than the Westminster politicians who govern us. Most of us want welfare and economic policies
decided at our parliament, but it is becoming clearer with each passing day
that the only way we can guarantee this is with independence and here lies the
one great advantage ‘Yes Scotland’ supporters have; no-one can say what the
future will hold, but the future of a post independence Scotland will be shaped
by and for her people. A ‘no’ vote gives
that power away, not just from us, but from our children and grand-children.
So what’s Sign for Scotland’s message to everyone who
supports independence? With a little
faith in our cause, with a little hope that the future can be brighter, and
with a little clarity provided to our friends and neighbours, we can secure a
big, resounding YES!
‘Faith, hope and clarity’ is the key, now let’s go out there
and win!
Drew
